Taroudant
Taroudant is also called ‘Little Marrakech’, hidden by magnificent red-mud walls, and with snow capped peaks of the High Atlas beckoning beyond. The town is a fascinating place to visit, having flourished in the 16th century and becoming a center for trade and culture with spices, silver, cotton, and other goods. The city of Taroudant is famous for its tannery. This is easy to understand when you visit the tanners souk. Today, Taroudant’s magnificent heritage is still clearly visible with its imposing adobe ramparts, adorned with square towers. An 8km horse-drawn carriage tour around it reveals its five gates, Bab El-Kasbah being the main one and the most majestic. The original walls still dramatically encompass the town.
